FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA Mesoscale Discussion 0039 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0548 PM CST Tue Jan 09 2024 Areas affected...portions of central and southern Florida Concerning...Tornado Watch 6... Valid 092348Z - 100115Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 6 continues. SUMMARY...Ongoing QLCS will likely persist into this evening. Strong wind profiles will support continued storm organization with a risk for damaging gusts and isolated tornadoes. Local extension of WW6 or a new small watch may be needed farther south. DISCUSSION...As of 2345, the environment ahead of the ongoing QLCS over central Florida remains moderately unstable and strongly sheared. This should continue to support organized storms over south-central Florida into this evening. A few stronger elements have been noted within the broader QLCS with the potential for damaging gusts owing to the strong background wind fields. 0-1km srh of 300-400 m2/s2 from area VADS also suggest isolated tornadoes will remain possible with the more organized parts of the QLCS. Farther south, large-scale ascent will gradually weaken as the upper trough lifts away to the north through the evening resulting in more veered surface flow. However, relatively strong shear will likely remain in place into parts of South Florida. At least some severe risk may persist for a few hours tonight. A local extension of WW6 or a new small weather watch may be needed to cover the remainder of the severe risk before storms begin to weaken and move offshore overnight. ..Lyons/Thompson.. 01/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
